Just my 0.02.... not liking it much, but I'm not a fan of really low aspect tires and large wheels on any car.

I like the wheels themselves, just not on a stang. And they are HUGE for my tastes as well. 18's are borderline for me, I would actually prefer 17's. Guess I'm "old school", lol. The whole big wheel thing happened after I got old I think, because I just don't get it...

I've decided to get an 18x9 - 18x10 staggered setup with 255/45/18 - 285/40/18

but I can't decide on the wheels.

UGH!!

I had American Racing Torq Thrust M Anthracite wheels on my black Trans Am, and like the way they look on the Mustang. They are just so common.

I want something different this time. A wheel that has a lip, doesn't weight more 30 lbs. each, and works well with black.

Sorry but my humble opinion is that it doesn't fit a "Mustang". As many have said too busy and somewhat ricey.

I like them because they are different. I agree they do look like wheels you see on BMW's and hard to clean but certainly not ricey. Everyone seems to have the 5 spoke of some type but if you don't have some Brembos this type of wheel would mask what I dislike and that's having nice big rims but undersized "looking" brakes. This is exactly the type of rim I'd like to get, 19in staggered but a drop is definitely needed to complete the look.

My opinion is to go with them if you like them because that's what really matters anyway.
